Now since Darren beadman has been riding so well I thought i'd take a look at his stats for this Sydney season beginning August 8 (Saturday Sydney only)
106 rides -27 wins outlay 106 units Return $108.3 units 2.17% profit
-53 places outlay 106 units Return $89.3 units 15.76% loss

Not too bad if you be a little choosy and dont back him every time
cheers

Try the following.
Week 1 = 1 unit win all Beadmans mounts, IF a profit then,
Week 2= 1 unit win all Beadmans mounts etc etc OR if a loss
2 units win all Beadmans mounts etc up to 5 units on each, then revert back to 1 unit win regardless and repeat. (always backing maxi divi of course)

have a look at his stats when his ride is $3.00 or greater, may help improve things

Try backing him in the first race, the last two races and any others between $11.00 and $26.00 pre-post.

Last two Saturdays:

Dec11
R1-4 Lord Bubbles WON 1.50
R5-7 Wombalano Belle WON 5.70/2.00
R6-9 Rectagonal PLA 1.90
R7-4 Reconnoitre WON 4.80/1.50
R8-8 Hanalei Bay UNP
R9-1 Baghdad WON 9.20/3.00

Dec4
R1-2 Mushroom UNP
R5-8 Undulate PLA 2.40
R8-6 Ike's Dream WON 7.90/2.60
R9-6 Leno WON 2.00/1.30

I've been following Beadman for years in the first race of the day and the last two races of the day. Especially the last race. Did the trick for me again on Saturday with Baghdad.

Hi All
Beadman's Mounts for the last 12 months, up to & including last Sat (NB these are Sat stats in Sydney only) were 254 rides for 53 winners. Average win price (NSW TAB) was $4.49. Unfortunately the bookies are aware of this such that $1 on all his mounts resulted in a POT=-6.25%
In fact the average price of all his mounts is only $4.77.
Here'a a question for all of you- of all jockeys who rode in Sydney during the last 12 months who had the best POT (minimum of 50 rides)??
Once you have had your opinions I will provide the answer. If anyone is interested in other particular jockeys, I can dig that out too.

BMCQUIRK, interesting stuff there, I mainly follow the racing in the west, but I'll have a stab at Cassidy??
But as far as Beadman is concerned do you happen to have the data in a formatt whereby you can show the results (POT/LOT) on a week to week basis?
i.e. Week 1= +1.55c
Week 2 =-3.45
week 3 = + $5.60 etc etc?
any help appreciated

Hi PartyPooper
Unfortunately you are not even close, irrespective of which Cassidy you mean.
As for the data, I have it in an Excel format that I could send to your email address. I'm not sure whether I can send it as an attachment to the forum.
Let me know.
Brian

Hi Brian .. now this is an interesting one ... I would say it would be between: Brown; Boss; Bowman; Munce or McLellan .. but then again .. I am probaly wrong !!!
Sooo .. looking forward to your results .. it sounds like a very interesting data base you have there .. cheers .. fred

Hi All
The answer, to save any more straining of memories is Mitchell Bell.
He had 113 rides on Sat in Syd over the last 12 months for a POT of 35.0%
Second was Willie Pearson with 11 winners from the same number of rides for a POT of 32.2%
Third was J Ford with 27 winners from 234 rides for a POT of 22.8%

Seems rather interesting that the value is not with the top jocks, and good (?) apprentices figure well.

I have them all on a spreadsheet if anyone is interested.
Cheers
